研究目的
To study the second-order correlation function of a system of a few two-level atoms coupled via plasmons and investigate the dependence of photon bunching and anti-bunching effects on the interaction between atoms, fields, and surrounding medium.
研究成果
The developed model provides insights into the temporal correlation of photon beams, showing that Dicke states can be coupled via various relaxation processes near plasmonic surfaces, leading to characteristic time scales in the second-order correlation function related to superradiant and subradiant transitions. These findings have potential applications in studying fast internal dynamics and photophysical properties of biological systems, cold atom physics, and cavity quantum electrodynamics.
研究不足
The study focuses on a theoretical model and its predictions, which need to be validated experimentally. The model's applicability to systems with a large number of atoms or more complex interactions is not explored.
